Sample Joint Venture Contract or Agreement

If you're planning on entering into a Joint Venture with another
business or individual, you need a written contract to
protect your interests. But as you know, contract
language is confusing and lawyers bill by the hour.

First, just to be sure we are talking the same language, a
Joint Venture Agreement is an arrangement where two or
more business or individuals join forces to develop one particular project
or product. It could be thought of as a "partnership" that exists
only for this one project. All parties involved maintain their
separate business and financial identities.

First, let me say up front that there is no substitute for a good lawyer if you're entering into anything but the simplest of agreements.

However, you can save money by
minimizing the billable hours that your lawyer will spend on your
agreement if you do the preliminary work yourself. It's not as difficult as you think, especially if you use this Joint Venture document as your guide.

This sample contract has been approved by a
new media lawyer, so you can be assured that it is based on solid
principles of contract law. However, it is not meant to be a
substitute for legal advice. After completing the document to your satisfaction, be sure to take it to you own lawyer for review before using.

When you download this document, you
will receive six legal-size pages of contract
material -- covering the general categories and terms that should appear
in most joint venture contracts.

Using the contract as a guide, you add your own information,
being sure to customize it by editing, deleting or
adding terms to suit your unique requirements. There is
no possible way that any "off the shelf" contract could fit every need,
after all!

There is a good chance that you will find items in the contract that
you hadn't thought about yourself. Perhaps some of the items will
spark your imagination and cause you to think of new
aspects that you want to add.

Then, when it is completed, decide for yourself which of the terms
you have included are negotiable and which are
non-negotiable. Jot this down on a separate paper and take it
along when you visit your lawyer. You will be prepared to discuss the
Joint Venture from start to finish and you will be prepared to discuss
negotiation strategies.

This document will be helpful to anyone entering into a
serious Joint Venture with another person or business. At
six legal pages, it is a well developed document. It is not intended for use for small, simple projects such as trading ads in
ezines and arrangements of that nature.
